Reply To: Assignment on “The Fascination of What’s Difficult” by William Butler Yeats

[Olasupo Mashood]

Regarding to the poem yeasts feel his energy has been drain due to burden he has been carrying and how frustrated he was with running theatre despite it a good and challenging job but the task in managing theatre exhaust him, he went on to criticize how difficult it is to set up a production and dealing with incompetent people he expresses how difficult it is to keep things running smoothly and the frustration makes him hate the job that once give him joy and in his final line he said I swear before the down comes round again I’ll find the stable and pull out the bolt this mean he wishes to break away from the responsibilities that are holding him back and regain his artistic freedom he hopes to do that before the next day which shows how desperate he was to leave the work
